I felt I've been the only Spurs fan on here for ages so I'm happy a couple have come out of the woodwork. There's more than enough Irons on here anyway. ;-)

I think point being that Pochettino's net spend whilst in charge has been ?6m profit.


Leicester have spent more during the same period.


Alright, that doesn't tell the whole story- Spurs first XI at the weekend cost c.?85m compared to Leicester's c.?22m and West Ham's c.?63m.


But it still pales when put alongside City's c.?250m, United's c.?184m, Liverpool's c.?131m, Chelsea's c.?129m and Arsenal's c.?123m. (yes, i've just sat and worked all that out!).


And goodness knows how much injured players and substitutes cost for all those teams.

City and United's spending has represented unbelievably poor value. I'm not sure who is responsible for the signings at either club, but they should be sacked immediately. I suspect at City it's those Spanish blokes they got from Barcelona. Mangala and Otimendi have been useless and each cost upward of 30 million.

Sterling is turning into another Aaron Lennon/ Theo Walcott/ Tony Daley type speed merchant. Never ever worth 50 million squid.

Di Maria cost 50 odd million then was flogged a season later. Was that down to Van Ghoul?

Sterling has never been anything else. His price tag is all down to the fact that he is an English player and for some inexplicable reason they command ridiculous prices. Liverpool must be overjoyed.

Though Dele Alli only cost 5 million, Eric Dier approx the same. But I agree, English players playing in the Premier league are vastly over priced and it encourages clubs to go abroad for better value.

I think there is a lot of English talent in the lower divisions now and some Premier league clubs are taking a chance on them. Before the premier league it was commonplace to trawl the lower divisions for talent, especially as there wasn't a foreign market. Liverpool built a European cup winning squad with players from Chester (Ian Rush), Middlesborough (Souness), Northampton (Phil Neal) and the rest.

    • Hello.   Thanks Nigel and Hparker 😀   I've got new slots available for new students looking for a piano teacher or guitar teacher.   You could start in the new term beginning September, or I'm also available adhoc-styles through the summer holidays at times.   I teach all ages, in most styles, in lots of different ways according to how you learn/like to learn.   Give me a call or text on 07730 402336.   I have connections to lots of performance opportunities/networks too.   I run regular events /student concerts, and play in bands/perform.   Natalie. 
    • So do I, but I think they are in trouble as well.  Anyway, that space wouldn't be big enough.
    • I'm not talking about Starmer. I was responding to a post which  said that  Corbyn was unelectable. How people voted in the "more hotly contested election" is irrelevant. Corbyn wasn't leading the Labour Party then. Starmer was. And the turnout for Labour reflects that. 
    • Reeves says she's in charge and no no's Rayners plan, what happens now?
